Course Description
This course develops your skills in designing mechanical components that are relevant to biomedical engineering. The course extends knowledge and skills acquired in the introductory course “Introduction to Engineering Design”. In this course you will strengthen your skills in computer aided design (CAD) of mechanical components, assemblies and systems. You will learn about the theoretical basics and practical applications of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methods, and you will apply this for structural analysis in the field of mechanical and biomedical engineering. Finally, you will learn about manufacturing technologies that are relevant to biomedical engineering and their impact on design.

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Create digital 2D and 3D graphical representations of mechanical components, assemblies and systems utilising a computer aided design software,
- Investigate and analyse the strength of mechanical structural components and their deformation under loading through finite element method, and then use this information to improve the design of those components,
- Identify the impact of relevant issues connected with realisation of your design, such as manufacturing processes and material selection,
- Communicate your design concept and analysis results to an audience of technical peers in a professional manner.
Overview of Learning Activities
You will be actively engaged in a range of learning activities such as lectorials, tutorials, practicals, laboratories, seminars, project work, class discussion, individual and group activities. Delivery may be face to face, online or a mix of both.
You are encouraged to be proactive and self-directed in your learning, asking questions of your lecturer and/or peers and seeking out information as required, especially from the numerous sources available through the RMIT library, and through links and material specific to this course that is available through myRMIT Studies Course.
